Future Patricia here. And let me tell you, April 26 looks a lot different than March 16. The weather is a bit warmer, for one. And the clover is over a foot tall, rather than just two or three inches. But enough about that. I've traveled here from the future, because I am dedicated to keeping my blog posts in order. And I realize I'm terribly behind. But that doesn't mean there are not posts coming. They will be posted, eventually. In the meantime, I want to tell you about a discussion group I am starting that Current Patricia hadn't thought up on March 16. It is a discussion group for the book Your Money or Your Life. And it is online, so you, Out & About fan, could join us, even if you don't live anywhere near Portland. Are you interested? Read on. I'll copy and paste the information that Future Patricia sent out to people.
In the meantime, keep in mind the weather is improving. And the blog posts will be posted, eventually.
Love,
Future Patricia
I've recently picked up the book Your Money or Your Life again. I read and followed its practices in the early part of this decade and lately, I've been feeling the pull to return to its lessons. I thought it would be fun (and more motivating) to invite others along so I’m starting a study group.
Apologies to those of you who previously received an email about this topic. Due to the pace of modern life/work schedules/pregnancy/”the economy” etc. it turns out that meeting in person for a discussion group doesn’t work very well. So I have re-jiggered the discussion group to be online. So perhaps you couldn’t participate before in person, but now you can virtually.
As a member of the study group you will read a chapter of the book per week, post to the newly created Y$YL blog (http://PDXYMYL.blogspot.com) and do your best to “do” one of the nine steps as best you can. Some of them are more involved than others.
You can see a discussion course outline by going to http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=
(That link is iffy, let me know if you need me to send the outline to you.) Our first discussion is May 15, so that gives you time to get the book and post an introduction.
More about the book:
Read the customer reviews of Your Money or Your Life at Amazon.com and the common theme you will hear is--"it changed my life!" Lots of authors aim to change people’s lives with their books. How many pull it off? Your Money or Your Life pulled it off because it revealed the connection between solving money problems and solving work problems. Looking back, one is tempted to say that the insight should long have been obvious to all. The reality is, it wasn’t. Your Money or Your Life has been a global bestseller for 13 years because it got to the root of the money management project and said something about it that had never been said before--the best reason to save is not to escape work but to free yourself to do a different kind of work.
